About

Dr. Cornel West, a prominent and provocative intellectual, joins CNN financial contributor Ryan Mack to discuss the history of generational poverty and wealth and the current state of the economy for African Americans.

Yet the 2010 Census Bureau showed that the median black household made 59.8 percent as much as the median white household; 40 percent of black students fail to graduate high school on time; and 27.4 percent of blacks live in poverty compared to the overall poverty rate of 15 percent. Join us for this interactive dialogue that will fold audiences into the conversation, led by award-winning author and radio host, Farai Chideya.
